Pontypridd v London Welsh

Pre-Season Friendly

23/08/2014

 

Pontypridd 12 – London Welsh 40

 

This was a real tough day at the office for Ponty, the Welsh scored in the first 5 minutes and by half time were 26 – nil up. London Welsh were bigger, faster and were a step from Ponty.

Ponty's line out didn't function too well, so Ponty were under pressure all the time.

Second half was a little better for Ponty scoring 12 points to 14, but Welsh were still superior in all aspects of play.

 

The boys did they best, but there is still work to be done with the Cardiff game coming up soon.

We have been spoilt over the last couple of seasons with Ponty wining all the time and was a bit hard to watch Ponty being smashed by London Welsh. But, we must put this into prospective, it was a pre-season friendly and boys know what it takes to win againist Cardiff.
